Oslo Synagogue

Oslo Municipality, Norway · built 1920

The Oslo Synagogue (Norwegian: Synagogen i Oslo) is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Oslo, in the St. Hanshaugen region of Norway. The Det Mosaiske Trossamfund congregation was established in 1892, but the present building was erected in 1920. Architectural historian Carol Herselle Krinsky describes the two-story tall, stuccoed building with a round tower topped with a spire supporting a Star of David as resembling "a simple and charming country chapel.' King Harald V and Crown Prince Haakon visited the synagogue in June 2009.
